Purging 0 Post Members

[JLogan]

Do you purge these members after a certain period of time? I do. After 3 months of inactivity and no-posting then I figured that I could use the space for the newer members that are coming in.

This should always be done at regular intervals and I have, when I had community sites, done this. It doesn't look good to see: 5000 members and 1000 posts in the stats bar or something like that.

I do after 6 months if I remember, for no other reason apart from to keep the database and forum clean.

Thinking of doing this here soon. We've spam cleaned a lot of accounts so a fair few have 0 posts and they are a burden on our pretty database. Wanna use this http://xenforo.com/community/threads/delete-0-posters.14360/ but the feedback is a tad mixed.

I delete them when the tally gets to 20 (that's how many users show in one page of the the members section in the MyBB ACP).

I think we will have to do this by next month or so, there are so many members with 0 post count.

I think it is not a bad idea to delete inactive members, although normally I do not do that.

It is up to the individual admin to decide whether to delete inactive members or not.
